Why are these "Fedora Test Day" announcements being send to 
fedora-devel-announce? I can't see how they fit into the rule set that
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-announce
lists. Quoting it here again:

They IMHO violate the hinted "INFREQUENT rule", as they come weekly 
right now.

CU
knurd (who is getting more and more worried that packagers with only one 
or two packages start to ignore fedora-devel-announce because it gets 
more and more mails that are not of interest for them)

P.S.: While at it: The mail "Fedora 11 Beta slip" definitely was okay 
for fedora-devel-announce, but I wonder if it should have gone to 
fedora-announce-list as well, as such slips in the past normally have 
been announced there; take the F11 Alpha slip for example:
